Vit B12 is mainly found in dairy and eggs and unless vegan diet is artificially supplemented in processing, a deficiency of Vit B12 is common among vegans. Food grown in soils low in iodine can lead to iodine deficiency. Best quality Omega 3 fatty acids and proteins are derived from animal sources especially fish.
Continuing from my reply to your last comment... Please remember the verse 20 of Chapter 31, Sura Luqman, “Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men, those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!”
Science has not reached its ultimate final stage where everything is now discovered about everything. There are discoveries made every day and some contradict the earlier finding. Hence in such situations we cannot rely wholly on science only. As believers, it is the word of our Creator we have to take as the ultimate truth for what is right for us.
I am not sure what research you are referring to. Please also read about the benefits of a well balanced diet which includes dairy, egg and meat consumption in reputable scientific journals. This is not a platform to debate about vegan diet. But pure vegan diet is not the ideal life style either according to scientific research. Just to list few important things to consider that phytates in many whole-grains and fiber in many foods interfere with zinc, Iron and Vitamin C absorption.
Okay so when I rationally reflect..There is no way I can reasonably justify the consumption of meat & dairy after having done extensive research on their effects on health. I have been forced to , be my rational faculties to see a vegan lifestyle as the best diet for man today given our circumstances ...for our health, the feeding of the hungry and the environment. I've always conflicted inside because of how the Quran states meat is okay but I don't understand how when science disagrees.
continuing my last comment...does this mean I am disobeying Allah's commands in the quran and/or refusing some of Allah's bounties and gifts to us on this earth?
Masha'Allah! Thank you so much! You have given us another top notch presentation!
Brilliant! not easy to summerize a question so full of passion in less than 10mn and such clear way. Masha´allah! Thanks
